Letters

Whenever I read a letter such as Fanny Marone's (Jan. 20, "Roe decision launched 40 years of slaughter of unborn innocents"), I again thank my God I live in a free country where she can express her views regardless of what others think.

Some religions call eating pork a sin, others call for hiding the faces of their women, and others stone to death those who have broken their moral code. But in America, we do not have to follow the rules of religions not our own. We can differ in opinion on when life begins, at conception or viability.

" While Ms Morisette is quick to criticize others for not having the ability to see that many people have different opinions on a matter. She goes on to talk about God and his methods and assumes that there is one and that everyone believes in one. "

" You're going to compare eating a pig to killing a baby? The reason so many "support" the killing of unborn babies is out of guilt of having an abortion as a young woman or because they place such a small value on life itself. The latter would explain alot of the evils we are dealing with now as a society.

I ask for your opinion when it is NOT ok to kill a baby? When there is a heartbeat? When the mother can feel it kick? During birthing? after the baby is exposed to air, but hasn't taken it's 1st breath?

I say if it is the woman's right to kill the baby in "her body", then she may as well have the right to kill it at any point in it's life. If you don't think it's ok for a mother to kill her 1 year old, then you shouldn't feel it is ok to kill a baby 1 hr before it's birth. "

" First off America WAS founded as a Christian Nation. Though we allow all and anyone to worship as they please. Our most precious asset, our money, says In God We Trust. Not allah, buddha or anyone else. We do not follow Sharia Law or allow it's radical practices. The Church & State argument doesn't float either. There is no way we should have won our independence from England. It was Devine Providence. Alot of bad things have happened to us since Roe v Wade. Maybe we are being punished or maybe we just lost our way. "

" The separation of Church and State really is a good idea. If you want to live in a country where they stone adulturers and kill people who work on the Lord's day then go live in Iraq. This country is a good country to live in, no a great country, and I say love it or leave it. Our ancesters went through a lot of hardship to get here so leave the backward countries behind like they did or go live there, but there are some of us who enjoy our freedoms and don't judge other people.
